The Western Enterprises AW-20 Inert Arc Nipple is a critical component for the maintenance and fabrication of industrial gas and water lines. Engineered with precision from high-quality brass, this nipple is designed to provide a secure and durable connection point for 5/16-inch inner diameter (I.D.) hoses. In the demanding environments of industrial welding, laboratory research, and manufacturing, the integrity of gas delivery systems is paramount. This fitting ensures that shielding gases such as Argon, Helium, and CO2 mixtures are delivered without leakage, preventing atmospheric contamination that can compromise weld quality.
With a standard B-Size 5/8"-18 UNF thread, this nipple is universally compatible with a wide range of standard gas fittings, regulators, and flowmeters utilizing CGA 032 and CGA 033 connections. The machined brass body offers superior resistance to corrosion and mechanical wear compared to softer metals or plastics, making it an ideal choice for long-term service. It is rated for a maximum working pressure of 200 PSIG, providing a substantial safety margin for standard shielding gas and industrial air applications.
Beyond gas service, the AW-20 is also suitable for water cooling lines used in heavy-duty TIG and MIG welding torches. Its robust construction handles the flow of coolant effectively, ensuring your equipment operates within optimal temperature ranges. Whether you are assembling new hose leads for a manifold system or performing maintenance on existing equipment, this inert arc nipple delivers the reliability and performance required by professional technicians.
This product is manufactured to strict tolerances to ensure a tight seal when paired with the appropriate nut and crimp ferrule (sold separately). The 2.218-inch length provides ample shank area for secure hose attachment. Please note that while this product is highly versatile, it is specifically rated for inert gases, water, and industrial air; users should verify compatibility for any other media. As a Western Enterprises product, it represents a standard of quality trusted throughout the compressed gas industry.
